Real Scenes: Bristol | Resident Advisor

[@juliusd.2541]

I love this series. I live in the Bay Area, California and I yearn for an underground music scene like these. Yes there are many house/techno clubs in SF but nothing on the radar in Oakland. I really dig the camaraderie that seems to perpetuate the Bristol scene. Perhaps one day I’ll get to experience it first hand!

[@76callaghan]

Nah im a Manc boy but Bristol always had a edge. Remember traveling down there in 1985 when they had Rcksteady Crew traveling in from New york with Great Peso to play at a fucking house party!! Haven't been there in years but mad love for that city. Massive warehouse parties as well with spiral tribe.

[@jojomadness3507]

wish they would cover the illegal rave scene in bristol/london/manchester. brilliant to showcase british underground jungle/dnb/tek

[@Wandfigur]

Yes!

[@LukeVolcano]

Wow! Amazed by this video... Looks like scene in Bristol i quite healthy and friendly... It is very cool to see something like that still happening... Instead of bunch of egos and cliques who push outsiders away and don't look for any progress... Bristol is definitely on my list of places to visit :)

[@vincewise855]

Having lived in and around Bristol from the 1970s its a shame that the various musical genres that were represented by many bands/musicians were not well supported by the city and that there was an elitist attitude by some venue promoters who did not support local acts. Sadly the demise of many live venues like the Granary , and others , and a lack of cohesion in the general music scene stymied what could have been a huge musical revolution coming out of Bristol.

[@1ukjunglednbraver]

i love Bristol lived here 7 years..people are 100% top friendly i can go out every night meet new people have a sick time and never see them again...people are so friendly... im welsh and trust it makes wales look like Afghanistan

[@janeparfitt65]

[@danking3093]

Bristol is the main city for partying never a dull moment it is a sick city man

[@clangerbasher]

Worth it for that little scene of them cutting vinyl. :)

[@MBungle]

The real partys on turbo Island m8

[@zene452]

LOL

[@TheSpudnic]

Yeah bristols a place I visited last year. dope scene with really cool friendly vibe. Always loved the pioneering sounds of massive attack,portishead, roni size and now the current evolving sounds from appleblim, pinch, allflaws, dub mafia Keep it coming bristol

[@FhinqMusic]

Love this!

[@jonswim9967]

Good effort lads. You need to up your game. This is mainly owing to laziness. The talent is present. Please don't squander it.

[@1ukjunglednbraver]

stokes croft place to go..so many different people great place

[@IMTaunton]

Recently re discovered Bristol for a night out, some great spots when you look.

[@DualThunder]

You know... This doc is about Bristol though so where's the need to mention Leeds and Manchester? I agree with you, both those cities have contributed hugely to dance music and continue to shape the scene today

[@pistolpeeroy]

yes mate respect to you. your welcome back anytime..

[@benwherlock9869]

Born in Bristol. Great stuff!

[@RomyIlano]

It’s true most good musicians are total nerds that hang our alone making music late at night 🤓 it’s hard

[@BlockchainTravel]

There are parties in Shropshire?

[@angiekarnif]

i love my city

[@carldiff]

We go over from Cardiff, Bristol is super friendly and we've had some great nights

[@thatdon100]

Bristol aint a friendly place its a shithole most of the time Cardiff is friendly lol

[@matthewmathias2118]

jamie kovac listen i moved to Bristol 6 years ago and i absolutely love it. The people are amazing and when i went to Cardiff the people were rude and it was full of junkies and beggers.

[@InspectorSmeg]

You went to the wrong place then mate, the Welsh are some of the friendliest people in the world

[@bhuuthesecond]

When it comes this place's scene I'm stuck in 2006

[@electronicmusicrecordings5135]

Very very interesting.

[@raphaelone666]

BRISTOL 4EVER

[@olliz747]

Being a resident of Bristol, the centre is a great place but as you get further out you get more rough areas

[@GoldryBluszco]

if there's one thing i've learned from this real scenes series: if you wanna be a successful dj, twinky physique + horizontal striped shirt

[@aBlgJraff]

[@TheSpudnic]

Good doc. Should av a bit on other new Bristol sounds tho. Maybe Dr Meaker, Allflaws, Dub Mafia

[@MoYceyYDnB]

No respect or attention paid to Bristol's most popular genre. How? The city has the biggest DnB scene in the world. Your documentaries are seriously out of touch.

[@jumpuptrooper3234]

this is the realest comment here man. dnb earns more respect

[@drunkenbuddhalaughingmonke8550]

Dnb isnt really uniquely Bristol though. Its huge everywhere

[@elbee321]

At the very least I was expecting DJ Die to pop up at some point!

[@ThomasHope73]

History repeats, but with permutations, when the next generation does something, we often feel we’ve heard it before, and in part we have, but you have to listen for the differences. No, none of this stuff is “groundbreaking”, but the stuff you thought was original in your day usually wasn’t as unique as you thought it was at the time either.

[@ThomasHope73]

The focus of this documentary is very narrow, it doesn’t say much really.

[@lewishanson9947]

BRISTOLLLL

[@Nicey90]

[@DLWman0322]

What is the track at 11:10?

[@supergangsterish1234]

bristol is not what it once was; the yuppies have moved in, prices have gone up and promoters have moved out

[@rinseoutdrycleaner]

cant believe they didnt mention blackbeard and morph

[@ShinyVonPenny87]

10:43 which record is it please...

[@charlotte9280]

Coat of Arms - Is This Something

[@djvuel]

What about Leeds / Manchester? surely much less glamour but undoubtedly the cities with the greatest house music history of the continent; see Laurent Garniers debuts, Back to Basics nights, LFO, La Hacienda... and I say this being from Paris.

[@johnjambo1]

Is that Kowton in Idle Hands?

[@aaroninky]

yes, shanti celeste at 13:21 too

[@bhuuthesecond]

Fffaarrrrk 8:00 is my shit

[@545samu]

Tune at 12:45 anyone.

[@pistolpeeroy]

aggy.

[@garrygalloway5043]

"600,000 / 700,000?" That would make Bristol bigger than Manchester which it isn't. So they are making a video about black music (dub step, bass)without any black faces? Not exactly inclusive or realistic.

[@dantheman81811]

Black music 😂😂😂😂😂

[@garrygalloway5043]

@dantheman81811 Whether you like it or not this genre was invented by black people

[@garrygalloway5043]

​@dantheman81811 Whether you like it or not this genre was invented by black people

[@garrygalloway5043]

​@@dantheman81811Yes, Black music. Black origins.Don't cry

[@garrygalloway5043]

@dantheman81811 Whether you like it or not this genre originated from Blaq Culture

[@therealKINDLE]

This to me is a few no-bodies blowing smoke up their arse trying to bluff a dead scene into believing they are relevant & at the fore-front of new-shit-music. Bristol is known for 1 thing.. Trip-Hop. A misnomer for the stunning shapeless sound of Portishead & Massive Attack. If these midi-kids think they can supersede those legends by plotting a few sterile beats in 4/4 - they're wrong. There's NO talent in this video. Fucking HELL the standards have dropped today.

[@therealKINDLE]

cethina fourtwentyfourseven YAR!! 'Coz Trip-Hop was really about "popularity"! You can enjoy music without making shitty half-arsed documentaries about yourself like you're the next big thing.

[@WillyJunior]

an old, bitter hack moaning about how things aren't what they used to be without having any real knowledge of the current scene... for a change.

[@therealKINDLE]

Bollog Nyessy Another pawn of the labels desperately clinging to "scenes" & no doubt sub-genres in order to avoid appreciating genuine music for what it is. Art. There's a wide variety of music with no particular scene dominating the uk currently. Music is music!

[@WillyJunior]

KINDLE your comment makes no sense whatsoever. what's wrong with sub-genres? and who gets to say what is or isn't 'art'? there's a wide variety of music with no particular scene dominating the uk currently? i don't even know what this means. where there is music and there are people who go out and listen to it, there is a scene. 'scene' doesn't have to mean some kind of wanky in-crowd who exclude anyone who they do not deem 'cool' enough. music IS music, exactly! so stop slating music you don't like/ don't understand and comparing everything to massive attack and portishead.

[@therealKINDLE]

Bollog Nyessy What's wrong with subgenres?! What? Apart from the fact that there are over 500 of them!? Styles & genres are a form of limiting creativity in order to adhere to the habits of that genre. Hence why "Breaking the Habitual" had fresh ideas & demonstrated that you can make a song 18 minutes long if your vision is keen enough. A producer who has only ever created "Noise" shall find it impossible to express the emotions on screen to a profound film, due to the limitations of genre. The difference between someone who creates a "Disco/House" track, & someone who just creates a "track", is measured by ART. This isn't hate. Hate is when someone dislikes for NO reason. There is a reason why I have more faith in art, & less faith in manufactured 'product'.

[@bidost1871]

Frankly, I never quite liked the British electronic scene. It is almost impossible to deny that it has always been a bit kitsch. German scene (mainly Berlin) is, for example, way better I think. I dont't really know what to or whom to blame for the British failure. Yet I have this gut feeling that Thacther comes in the first place (Extremely profound analysis LOL, though I am serious on that).

[@richgreen5988]

I never usually comment but what you have written is, despite your opinion, absolutely incorrect. To say it is Kitsch sounds like you have no understanding of the history of dance music and the enormously disproportionate amount that the UK has contributed to it. The dance scene is not kitsch at all, I guess you have that impression from this video which does not represent the enormous variety of styles we enjoy, have created or contributed to. I think you need to learn some dance music history...all of the millions of ravers from the late 1980's into the early 1990's dancing at illegal indoor and outdoor raves were certainly not kitsch but very gritty and real scenes enjoyed by all types of people, I'm talking about the early house, breakbeat, hardcore & techno scenes enjoyed by the largest scale of people at the time in the world as hundreds of thousands of young people went raving on weekends...and still do. These scenes and music then evolved in to styles we invented --Jungle/Drumn Bass, Garage, Dub Step..(and way before we made Ska and Punk). The UK has also contributed a massive proportion to Dub, Reggae, House, Techno, Trance ...you could have great fun watching some old uk rave documentaries.What I'm trying to say is...definately not Kitsch :)

[@rahbeat9785]

bi dost I agree. germa's got Phace dnb and killer psytrance like PHI records

[@utd4theleagueutd4theleague17]

Did you just call Jungle, Dillinja, Goldie, Ed rush & Optical, Roni Size, Mampi Swift, 4 hero, Johnny L, Adam F , Metalheadz, Reinforced, Ram records, V recordings, Formation, Hardcore, Rob Playford, Basement records, Foul Play, The Prodigy, Orbital, FSOL, LFO, Warp Records, Aphex Twin, Smith & Mighty, Massive Attack, Portishead, Tricky, Ninja Tunes, Speed garage, Grant Nelson,El-B, MJ Cole, Steve Gurley etc..........Kitsch????? Do you even know what kitsch means? You should do....it's a German word.
